Romance - Five Common Relationship Problems That You Can Control

This article will offer solutions to five common relationship problems from our 92-year old in pigtails expert.

There's an old saying, "A new broom always sweeps clean". Relationships tend to follow that line. Your romance blooms via fond times together, sweet unyielding love, and poignantly produced memories that you'll feast upon for a lifetime, then suddenly this giant stink bug enters the scene, its vicious teeth gnawing at the roots of your relationship.

Don't allow the fairytale magic to die! Get out your can of mental 'pest spray' and stabilize your relationship before the garden gets too infested. Let's begin by looking at some common problems that couples share from time-to-time.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Your Pet Drives Me Bananas

Romantic Relationship Problem: You're totally bonded to your new pet but your partner doesn't particularly like animals, especially indoors.

Romantic Relationship Solution: Pet ownership is bit like having a child.

You're actually incorporating another life into your family and it's something you'll need to discuss beforehand. Buying a pet and hiding it behind the door as you try to convince your partner why you both need a pet is not recommended. Other things such as allergies, and who will name the pet, should be considered before the purchase.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Kitchen Preferences

Romantic Relationship Problem: You're obsessive when it comes to putting away leftovers. You like to empty the contents into a container, then burp and seal the container. On the other hand, your partner eats out of the can, then places it into the fridge uncovered, and just burps.

Romantic Relationship Solution: You can tackle this problem several ways. The first way is to simply not eat the uncovered product; let your beloved finish off the can. Another way is the direct approach where you clearly tell your partner your preferences on storing leftovers. Another avenue is to say nothing, remove the uncovered food, empty and seal, then return to the fridge. Perhaps over time your partner will get the message.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Sleeping Preferences

Romantic Relationship Problem: You're tired, but your partner has only just begun to party. By two a.m. you're ready to ram the tip of that party hat right up his watusi.

Romantic Relationship Solution: Try to maintain identical waking and sleeping times. Generally, this is possible unless one of you work the nightshift. If this fails, then consider sleeping in separate rooms. Remember the benefits of a good night's sleep. If your partner prove unaccommodating and ignores your heart-felt, earnest plea, then by all means ram away.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Laundry Preferences

Romantic Relationship Problem: You prefer folding the towels over once, then twice more to create perfect pillow-like images whenever the towel cabinet is opened in the bath. Your partner folds a bit faster, just over once, then once more. How dare she!!

Romantic Relationship Solution: And yes, most people would say something smart like, "You should be grateful that your partner offers any help at all!" Ahh, but not so! All household, yard, vehicle, and financial items are responsibilities. You are a team and should share these responsibilities! Therefore, one way of attacking this problem is to divide the chores and accept your partner's preference of performing that responsibility. If you find that you just can't deal with those imperfectly-folded towels, perhaps that task is one that you will want to oversee.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Body Temperatures

Romantic Relationship Problem: You're cold natured and your partner is hot natured. At night, you feel like a grape ice pop and by morning you look like one. It's the old Reptilian Fireball Syndrome at work to destroy your happy romantic relationship.

Romantic Relationship Solution: Invest in a blanket that warms to selective temperatures for each side of the bed. If your partner doesn't like to be underneath the sheet or the blanket, then consider purchasing a bigger bed. You may not get to snuggle but the benefits of a good night's sleep are priceless.

Romance & Relationship Problems - Summing it up!

One thing to keep in mind is that these are common problems in relationships. All of the examples provided dealt with personal preferences and how to work together to solve the problems.

If we go a step farther, we'll encounter problems that arise due to a lack of consideration, such as a partner cleaning the bathroom and the other partner leaving wet towels and dirty laundry on the floor but the majority of the time, the partner innocently steps over their partner's personal preferences.

So as you can see by the examples, it really doesn't matter how a task is accomplished. It all goes back to personal preference, something that's certainly not worth arguing over. In fact, if it's an issue that you won't remember a month from now then it's not worth arguing over.

Work to keep your romance sweet and innocent, avoiding all opportunities that will destroy your partner's self-confidence. We hurt the most when the people we love find fault in the things we say and do. You have the power to keep the magic, magic!

One last tip for the ladies. Invest in a small supply of common tools such as an assortment of screwdrivers, a hammer, a paintbrush, a pair of pliers, some sandpaper and a handful of nails and screws. A man's tools are equivalent to a woman's makeup case. I'm 92 in Pigtails; I know these things....
